Default Projected 1/4 time
i have a 2002 Camaro z28 base coupe a4 with 3.73s, 36-3800 stall converter, Texas speed 1 7/8 headers and a btr 227/234 camshaft. Any guesses on what it will run?

Obvious depends on the launch and track conditions, but I'll say 11.8 at 115 if you don't have much experience at the track

Funroe Monroe, that's where I went to college!
I'd agree with the 11.6 to 11.8 with those mods.
Why the 28" tire? You might pick up some with a 26" tire.

Went with a 28 because the gears seem so low. I’ve raced several times before at the track. Hopefully it’s faster than 12.4 because my ecoboost truck runs that good lol.

Just for comparison, all on 26" tire.
My old bolt-on vert went 12.3 full weight with 3.42
My SOMZ in sig went 11.5 full weight with 3.42 and BTR Stage III only (10.4 on a 150 shot)
My Black T/A runs 9.91 with 3.54 (Cammed 6.0 on a 150)

Maybe 11s are In my future I may try some 26s and just stretch it out. How do you like the btr camshaft?

You would benefit from 26" tire. With 3.73's 6200 shift points and about 8% converter slip 3rd will run you out until 120 mph

Where ya shifting at?

If you think 10-20whp is a big upgrade. I did. I went from a ls6 to a fast 92. Then found a guy that wanted to trade his 102 for a 92 and swapped intakes with him.
